• Observing, maintaining, organising and improving all articles on Wikipedia relating to constructed languages.
• Providing a reliable source of information regarding constructed languages, available on request.

• Expanding and improving articles about conlangs, especially notable ones;
• Making sure that all current conlang articles meet certain criteria, such as:
  • It should be made clear in the article why the language is notable, interesting, or unique;
  • It should contain a sample of the language, when available;
  • It should be tagged with {{WikiProject Constructed languages}}, {{Constructed languages}}, and {{Infobox language}}; and
  • It should contain good references, bibliography, and external links;
• Discussing a list of conlangs that arguably deserve articles (the "Things you can do" section on Portal:Constructed languages could serve as a starting point);
• Nominating non-notable and/or non-verifiable articles for deletion; moving them to the FrathWiki if warranted;
• NPOV-ing conlang articles added by self-interested creators; and
• Reviving a more viable policy proposal from WP:CONLANG.
